Conservative social media users ripped the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre this week to share a photo of the White House communications team, calling it the “best team in the business.”
Biden’s critics on X hammered the post, disputing the claim and accusing the press secretary of lying on behalf of President Biden throughout his time in office.
“It takes an army to come up with non-answers and lies,” commented conservative columnist Tim Young on Jean-Pierre’s post.

The outgoing press secretary shared the photo on her X account on Friday, which showed her and about a dozen of her staff smiling as she stood next to President Biden.
She captioned the photo, saying, “Here’s to the best team in the business. Couldn’t do it without you. Let’s pass the tape! #thewestwing #POTUS #WhiteHouse.”
The photo went viral and drew heat from a myriad of critics who expressed their frustration at Jean-Pierre’s time as press secretary.
Washington Times columnist Tim Murtaugh gave Jean-Pierre and company a stern reprimand, writing: “This ‘best team in the business’ lied to the world about the president’s mental and physical fitness and, in the end, it failed. Their work led to Trump’s huge victory, which was a complete repudiation of everything they had done in the most important jobs they ever had.”
“Nice job,” he added.
Free Press columnist Eli Lake asked, “In what business is this the best team?”
Conservative radio host Michael Berry took a dig at Jean-Pierre and his team, posting: “Stupid and dumber. And dumber. And even dumber. And even dumber. And surprisingly even dumber than that. And … “.
Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross remarked, “They’re actually all the worst in the business, which means they’ll make $300k+ in That Town in a couple of months.”

Fox News columnist David Marcus accused White House communications teams of lying about Biden’s health and other major issues throughout his presidency. “So these are the people who helped lie to American citizens about Biden’s mental capacity and plans to pardon his son. Got it. I put a bag on my head, I was one of them,” he said .
RedState.com writer Bonchie stated, “I was expecting her to show some shame, but she just doesn’t have it in her.”
Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway rescued the team, declaring, “There is no easier job in the universe than being press secretary for a Democrat. Yet, somehow, you still failed.”

Jean-Pierre’s last year on the job was marked by clarifications and defenses even more embarrassing than Biden’s mandate.
Memorable moments including igniting a feud with CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe after she refused to answer his question about the neurologist from Walter Reed Military Medical Center visiting Biden at the White House several times that year; saying that questioning Biden’s inflammatory rhetoric about candidate Donald Trump after he was nearly assassinated twice was itself “incredibly dangerous”; and dismissing Biden’s flimsy-looking videos as “cheap fakes.”
